Not much better than the last 30 seconds of that, IMO.

A gannet?

Amazing footage, whichever.

The mass murderer he pardoned worked for Blackwater, which is/was owned/operated by the brother of his Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos.

Perfectly-timed tackle by Martial there.

Does a draw send them both through?

There's no point being a prick if there's no-one there to needle.

I was reading in a Scientist magazine my Dad has an article about this current virus just being the start & there could be similar on the way in the next few years. 

 

I just don't think the vaccine will be the answer some are hoping for.

I'm actually thinking one positive result from this virus is that the world has shown (hopefully) it's ability to rapidly analyze and counter these viruses.

Earlier this year I wondered whether or not we were capable of dealing with something like Covid when we couldn't, apparently, figure out how to deal with eg. AIDS or SARS etc. 

Now we have to demonstrate an ability to produce and distribute the vaccines effectively, internally and internationally.

Again hopefully our leaders have the intelligence to maintain the system of research, production and distribution once it is in place.

Vardy knackered.

Is that one off-side?

Off-Toby's side.

I suppose a draw is the best result going strictly by the table, but I'd be okay watching Mourinho get thumped by double figures.

And VAR returns to form.

What a joke.

How can that not be a penalty?

He was standing there watching it and it still took VAR.

Bizarre.

Time to play "who can spot the differences between 10-man Sheffield and 11-man Tottenham".

 Get the contract out, put it on the table. Let him sign it. Let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there.

Bobby's first because of Robertson's pass. If you look at it from behind Robertson you don't even see Firmino. But he saw it. When you look at it from the opposite corner flag you can see him watching it--sort of like a golfer watching a chip to see where it lands. He knew it was close.

And then Bobby's touch to control the pass and the no-look misdirecting side-foot into the corner.

Just like a walnut:

Cracked them first thing, pulled them out of their shell, then chewed them up and swallowed them.

Mourinho's nonsense about "best team lost" didn't do Roy any favours.

Bobby Dazzler is back.

My thoughts as well Tony.

All the best to you and your folks.

Courtesy the BBC:

LFC had 200 passes in the final third.

Spurs had 19.

The team that played to win, won.

He's too old, a career politician without any real burning policy ambitions that I can see, and listening to him speak is completely uninspiring.

But he was the right choice to beat Trump, and I think Trump was and is a real threat to the well-being of the western world.

So I'll try not to criticize the parachute for only slowing my fall.

Allardyce:

""I'm hungrier than ever and I've never had such a long break."

Good news for a couple of local business owners:

Great news CD!

In other good news, Moderna's vaccine has received the first stage of approval in the US.

So another vaccine might be coming online in a couple of days.

A bit brighter at the end of the tunnel.

How is it that such "off-side" goals are normally examined with the wiry complexity of a Von Trapp family puppet show - and yet this very very tight call (that actually looked off to the naked eye) was complete in about 12 seconds?

 

Fucking.  Joke.

 

 

Nice one.

As was the match. Best team won, obviously.

The tackle by Lo Celso on Robertson was a deliberate attempt to injure. I think it might linger in a few minds.

Fuck Mourinho, the eye-gouging POS.

The project is off to a good start:

He's got Gamm on board.

Must be a bit disappointing for Spurs' better players to know they're much much better than their opposition, but still liable to drop points with a single mistake because they're playing for a manager whose style of play is so dull and unimaginative.
